Line 65:
** The Agents, though [[Dodge This|they can't dodge]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|everything]]''.
** Neo mentions it early on:
{{quote| '''Neo:''' What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge bullets?<br />
'''Morpheus:''' No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, [[Bullet Dodges You|you won't have to]]. }}
** When the time comes, he does it almost as well as the Agents. Shortly afterward, he lives up to Morpheus's claim: first by coming back to life after being shot, then by stopping bullets in mid-air.
Line 138:
* In ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', the [[Fragile Speedster|Scout]] can use Bonk! radioactive energy drink to dodge bullets, rocket explosions, and strangely, flamethrower fire, for a few seconds. Even though he doesn't take damage, sentry gun fire still knocks him back, and he can still have Huntsman arrows embedded in him. "Didn't hurt!"
* In [[City of Heroes]], Scrappers and Stalkers have an optional secondary ability called 'Super Reflexes'. Once gained, many of these powers are automatically on and cost no endurance.
{{quote| '''Project Mirage''' ''(player-character):'' "I'm not bulletproof. And I'm not invincible. I don't need to be."}}
* In ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', Samus can do this with her new 'Sense Move' ability.
* Non-[[Redshirt Army]] blaster units in ''[[Lego Adaptation Game|Lego Star Wars]]'' have ability to dodge enemies' beam shots while firing back at them.
Line 168:
* In his memoir a Russian artillery officer described how he managed to dodge a shot from a Panther tank's main gun. He was observing it through his observation telescope at the time and it fired from half a mile away. He saw the puff of smoke and hurled himself and his assistant into the bottom of the trench. He later calculated that he had just half a second between seeing it fired and the shell arriving.
* Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, claimed to have done something like this.
{{quote| As we neared Tungliao, we were trapped in a valley and showered with bullets. Miraculously, I could sense the direction of the projectiles -- beams of light indicated their paths of flight -- and I was able to dodge the bullets. The ability to sense an attack is what the ancient masters meant by anticipation. If one's mind is steady and pure, one can instantly perceive an attack and avoid it -- that, I realized, is the essence of aiki.}}
